VICE's Creative Director gets Intimate!
Do you remember the “Chill Out Room” at raves?
They might as well be called, “The Make Out Room” because that is what strangers and lovers did in those rooms! Now with the Covid-19 pandemic in full effect, making out in public seems like an irresponsible thing to do. With closures across the world and limited access to entertainment, romantic date nights seem to be a thing of the past. But all love is not lost! TasteMakers Radio brings the “Chill Out Room” to your home. Check out the Soundcloud link below for an intimate conversation and exclusive DJ mix by Vice LA’s very own, Dersu Rhodes.
His DJ mix “Music for Hooking Up” and podcast interview follows the conversation of finding intimacy in the paradigm of today.
We are in a global pandemic and the world is pivoting not only in business relationships but in our most intimate relationships. “Music is a great asset in forming connections. Whether it’s a new spark or old flame, music can set the mood anywhere. - DJ Paper
Carrying the torch is DJ Havoc, V The Plug and DJ Paper as they explore the new normal, sexuality, and intimacy. Eavesdrop on their discussion with the backdrop of "Music For Hooking Up" DJ mix by Dersu. "Personally I’m about 20 minutes into Dersu’s mix and my girlfriend is 10 min away from beginning to receive pleasure!” comments COO/co-founder of TasteMakers Radio Ian McDonell aka DJ Havoc.
